I'd like to read the paper by Hallinan et al which confirms the ec maser mechanism.
The final statement in the abstract intrigues me: "The implied size of the radius, together with the bolometric luminosity of the dwarf, suggests that either LSR J1835 is a young- or intermediate-age brown dwarf, or that current theoretical models underestimate the radii of ultracool dwarfs."
Tusenfem, if the above is the case would it account for the problem you mentioned in #71?
